It was established in the early 1980s and became a charitable entity in November 1990.[3] The station underwent a major transformation in 1993, becoming Whanau FM.[4] One of the station's frequencies was taken over by Mai FM in 1998; the other became Pumanawa FM before later reverting to Te Arawa FM.[5] It is available on 89.0 FM in Rotorua.[6]

Te Wharekura o Ngāti Rongomai, a Māori language immersion school for the Ngāti Rongomai community, was opened in Rotorua in 2009.[7] In 2019, the kapa haka group Te Pikikōtuku o Ngāti Rongomai, formed from members of Ngāti Rongomai, placed second at Te Matatini.[8]
